I wonder if the TPMS sensors are triggered by rotation via acceleraometers? For example, since you place the spare tire on the car, three sensors get activated once you start moving. The TPMS only gets three readings from the three turning wheels and sees this as a malfunction. The TPMS sensors probably only turn on for a short period of time when the car moves to preserve battery life (since changing batteries would be difficult).
